Application of the Wireless Ultrasound Transducer in Medical Treatment

1. Introduction of the wireless ultrasound transducer

The ultrasonic waves emitted by the wireless ultrasound transducer are also
known as mechanical waves, which have good directionality, strong penetrating
ability, and the ability to spread in water and air. The wireless ultrasonic
transducer can be used for distance measurement, speed measurement, cleaning,
welding, stone crushing, sterilization, disinfection, etc. Based on the
vibration excitation mode, transducers commonly used in ultrasound can be
divided into magnetostrictive transducers and electrostrictive transducers.

At the beginning of the 20th century, the development of electronics enabled
people to make various electromechanical transducers by using the piezoelectric
effect and magnetostrictive effect of certain materials. In 1917, people made
sandwich-type ultrasonic transducers with natural piezoelectric quartz and used
them to explore submarines on the seabed. With the continuous development of
ultrasonic applications in various military and economic sectors,
magnetostrictive transducers with greater ultrasonic power have emerged, as
well as various types of ultrasonic transducers with different purposes such as
electric, electromagnetic, and electrostatic transducers.


2. Application of the wireless ultrasound transducer in medical treatment

The application of the wireless ultrasound transducer in medical treatment is
mainly divided into medical testing and medical treatment.

As you commonly see in hospitals, medical instruments that we can commonly see
such as B-ultrasound, color doppler ultrasound, ultrasonic holography
technology, ultrasound scalpel, and ultrasound crushing technology all use the
wireless ultrasound transducer to work. The working principle of medical
ultrasound is similar to that of sonar. When the ultrasonic wave emitted into
the human body will be reflected and refracted when they encounter interfaces,
and it will be absorbed and attenuated by the human body so that there is no
harm to human body tissues. The wireless ultrasound transducer is used in
different medical devices with different purposes. Also, the wireless
ultrasound transducer is widely used in the medical industry because it is not
harmful to the human body.

Founded in 2016, Stork takes merely four years to become one of the leading
ultrasound probe manufacturers in China. As a device and solutions provider
focused on ultrasound imaging, we aim to make handheld ultrasound affordable
for everyone.
